摘要: The effects of Fe substitution for Co on the structural stability and the site preference of intermetallics Nd2Co7 - xFex with a hexagonal Ce2Ni_7-type structure are studied by using a series of interatomic pair potentials. In Nd2Co7 - xFex, Fe atoms are substituted for Co atoms with a strong preference for the 6h sites and the order of site preference is 6h, 4e, 4f, 2a, and 12k. Calculated lattice parameters are found to be consistent with the reported results in the literature. The variation behaviour of the Curie temperature of Nd2Co7 - xFex is explained qualitatively by the exchange interaction model. The properties related to lattice vibration, such as phonon density of states and Debye temperature, are first evaluated for the Nd2Co7 - xFex compounds.

Abstract: The effects of Fe substitution for Co on the structural stability and the site preference of  intermetallics Nd$_{2}$Co$_{7 - x}$Fe$_{x}$ with a hexagonal Ce$_{2}$Ni$_{7}$-type structure are studied by  using a series of interatomic pair potentials. In Nd$_{2}$Co$_{7 - x}$Fe$_{x}$, Fe atoms are substituted for  Co atoms with a strong preference for the 6h sites and the order of site preference is 6h, 4e, 4f, 2a, and  12k. Calculated lattice parameters are found to be consistent with the reported results in the literature.  The variation behaviour of the Curie temperature of Nd$_{2}$Co$_{7 - x}$Fe$_{x}$ is explained qualitatively  by the exchange interaction model. The properties related to lattice vibration, such as phonon density of  states and Debye temperature, are first evaluated for the Nd$_{2}$Co$_{7 - x}$Fe$_{x}$ compounds.
